    I think most people simply don’t appreciate what having a child is and what a massive responsibility it is.

    I think you’re talking out of your own ass, if you believe that most parents don’t know all that.

      mmmmm no id say youre talking out of your own ass.

      Many parents when you truly get down to it seem to think the most important part of being a parent is spreading their genes and maintaining a bloodline.

      I truly mean it when I say most parents dont realize how profound having a kid truly is. Otherwise i truly believe people take longer before having kid when it comes to finding another person to raise a kid with, considering what mental illnesses, or diseases that lurk in your dna.

      I also think abortion wouldnt be that much of an issue if people consider when its truly the right time to raise a child.

      So nah suck it brah.

      As a parent, I thought I had an idea. Nope, still surprised. And I wanted the kid and have means to support them.

      From my experience,I personally agree with that sentiment. A lot of parents and parents to be put a lot on their kids that doesn’t need to be there, many don’t understand how much work it will be, and a lot put in much less work than they should.

      It sounds like you are or would be an engaged parent to know it’s a lot of work to raise a little individual, but there are many people from many backgrounds.

        That’s simply something, no parent would say, so yeah: talking out of their asses galore down here.

        So how about we fix the society as to that not only übermenschen can get children and born children have the resource of an intact social safety-net? Maybe that would be preferable to childless asses shaming parents whose situations they have no access to?

        Most of the time, it’s a lack of resources that disables parents to properly care for their kids. Try to be a supportive parent if you work 3 jobs to make ends meet.

      You quoted the part where they said most people, but you’re replying as if they said most parents.

      Anyway, you’d hope people who don’t know all that would learn better after the kid comes out, but I know some people don’t. I can name two off the top of my head.

        You quoted the part where they said most people, but you’re replying as if they said most parents.

        Hey, if they didn’t mean most parents, then the first part of the sentence didn’t apply.
